Dad Asks If He's Wrong To Not Allow His Daughter To Use His Home For Her Wedding After Rift Between Them

Love can be a very complicated thing. In the beginning, it's always nice and sweet, but once people start getting to know each other better or once they start building a life together, that's when the real make-or-break challenges begin.

You may think you love someone, and you may even end up marrying them, but in the end, things might not always work out. That's just a fact of life.

Sadly, that's also the origin story of many broken families. Somewhere down the line, the parents may encounter problems their relationship can't recover from.

It's nice if they still manage to maintain an amicable relationship for the sake of the kids, but if they can't, it's often the kids who get stuck in the middle. Family gatherings and any special occasions then become fraught with tension every time, just like in this father and daughter's case.

They had a rift; however, since it was the daughter's wedding, they somewhat reconciled and started talking again. The tension heightened once again, though, when the father refused to let his daughter use his home for her wedding.

While the wedding didn't go through according to the daughter's initial wishes, it did go on with the father. However, it was filled with a lot of drama before it even started.

Here's the whole story: WeddingHomeQuestion

It was too late though

In addition to what happened at the wedding, OP continued that the entire situation has also affected his family with his wife. Due to various complications, his stepdaughter moved two hours away from them, and his son-in-law had to switch companies because of how awkward the entire situation is.

OP mentioned that maybe if they had only sucked it up for a day and let the wedding happen in their home, they wouldn't be in the terrible situation they're in.

On Reddit, a lot of people sympathized with the father's situation. Some even said it was the daughter's fault.

Here are some of the other things Redditors are saying:

Every child wants the most important people in their lives, but this wedding was just a drama-filled one. We can't even imagine getting stuck in the middle of it.

We do hope the relationship between OP and his daughter gets better, though.
